A Strikes Chinese Character Study. By Marguerite St,cb er. IN his oirn country, Hnie Keewould not have dared to raise his low born eyes even so high as Toy Duk's little crippled feet, but in this country, where everything is pos sible, he promptly fell in love with her 011 the approved American plan. He haunted the street in which she lived, and watched her latticed balcony with his eyes turned up at the corners in a very Western way, for he was the un happy resultant of the two opposing forces, Chinese birth and American training. Aud Toy, also imbued with the spirit of American independence, had so far declared her emancipation from Orien tal custom as to return his glances from behind her shutters. To be sure the slats were scarcely turned, nnd she peeped through her sleeve, but to her it was a mad flirtation, and she trembled at her audacity. The doughty Chew Bang, her father, not only kept his balcony latticed more securely than those of his neighbors, but the lattice work was of iron liars, which made the little balcony strikingly like a prison. Ami now, after 305 long, monotonous, colorless (lays, another Dragon-day had rolled around—the only day In all the stupid years worth living, as poor little Toy thought The sedate little valley town was, on this occasion, overrun with an invading horde of chattering, jabbering coolies, for there was scarce ly an able-bodied Chinaman for twenty miles around who was not looking at tlfe great dragon parade. On this eventful day the Chinese women are driven up and down long streets. Toy Dult sat rigidly upright in a cnrrlage ns she endeavored to bal ance a two-story head-dress of fearful and wonderful construction, while the layers of rice powder on her cheeks fell into cracks as she babbled and laughed in her enjoyment of this unu sual excitement. She was a beautiful little yellow lady, whose slippers were scarcely larger than an oyster shell, and, alas! almost as shapeless, who hobbled about gracefully with the help of an attendant, or squatted on a mat, a marvel of elegance and dignity. And as she sat in her gaj'ly bedizened car riage, her little almond eyes dancing with merriment, many foreign eyes were turned admiringly in her direc tion. But from the moment of the first excited shout, announcing the ap pearance of the procession, till, after much coaxing on the part of the sol diers, the glittering dragon was finally induced to go under the low doorway that led to oblivion till the next par ade, Toy was conscious of nothing but .the wonder and splendor that filled her eyes oh all sides! At last, however, it was all over, anil Toy Duk's holiday was drawing to a close, too, for she was kept almost as securely packed away as the dragon. From her latticed balcony she had of ten watched the American girls walk ing about freely at all hours of the day. Independent and happy, and had asked herself what, after all, was the great advantage of being a "little-foot" wom an. anyway. Old Bang's Iron grating, notwithstanding all bis precaution, was not high enough or strong enough to keep out the microbes of discontent that fill tl'.e air. Sorrowfully she saw the shadows grow longer and watched the minute hand on the clock tower catching up with the hour hand. All her life she had lived in two bare little rooms and ono high walled porch, and had been out ono day eaeii year, as 011 this occasion. By anil by some ono would buy her, then there would he a change of homes, and she hoped, de voutly, the new balcony might not he so high, but there would still be only that one day in all the year worth liv ing. If she should live to he an old woman, say sixty years, that would make just sixty "worth-while" days. Two months of an American girl's year would represent a whole lifetime to her, for just to be out in the sunlight, to feel free to come and go as she chose, to know what was around the corners of the streets below, was all her hungry little soul craved. Thus she mused as her carriage slow ly moved along. Then she raised her eyes in response to a steady look fixed upon her from the opposite side of the street, and through a mist of rebellions tears saw Koe. 111 an instant the clouds of discontent were cleared away, and in defiance of the stupid cus tom that had hedged her so closely about all her life, she frankly returned Ills look. A moment Inter she deliber ately went him one better, and smiled with a sudden burst of mischief that seemed to well up from the depth of a merry little heart, sparkle in her eyes till It bubbled over and dimpled down her cheeks and lost Itself around the corners of her mouth. At this sign of encouragement Mr. Koe walked straight up to the carriage, raised Ids hat, and extending his hand took hers In the American way he had often seen people do, but flip look that went with the act was original, and had neither to lie learned nor copied. Tills was bold emancipation. Toy felt the eyes of the world must ho upon her, hut was not dismayed In the least: she quite enjoyed it. She even tried to wriggle her poor little tortured toes to see if they, too, were not becoming emancipated from their stupid imprisonment. The other occu I think who will may share their psalm, begun The hour when summer day is done The sky and field tire growing one. I know the foolish fancies fondest cling; But I believe the 6till air's murmuring, The s\ve°t far thing the thrushes sing. pants of the carriage looked at her In horror, hut she was now across the Ru bicon, and liiuig deilancc at everything on the thither side. She didn't even care what the consequences might be, lor her 0110 day was almost over, and she was hound to make the most of it. So she laughed and chatted with Iluie Kce in a pretty little Cantonese sing song, as she had seen the American girls do, while the "eagle-bird" screeched loudly over her head. Then, when his dragonship was lost to view, the crowds began to move to ward the scene of the bomb-easting. In an incredibly short time the streets were cleared, and the open between the joss house aud the levee fdled with a swarm of excited contestants. Kce's soul was fired with a deter mination to eatcli one of the bombs, for that would insure the success of his every undertaking during the year. And poor Kee bad dire need of all the help it could give him, for while he had stood chatting with the emancipated Toy, her father, Chew Bang, as is of ten tlio way of fathers, had watched them from an opposite doorway. Such conduct on the part of his carefully brought-up daughter was almost be yond belief, and as he watched her talking boldly to a man 011 the street, knowing tlie eyes of the world were upon her, in horrified surprise Ids little bias-cut eyes grew wicked looking. Every minute of this scandalous belin vlor was bringing down Toy's selling price, nnd Kee, the miserable, low-horn pauper, knew it. Perhaps he was doing it to make her an unsaleable chattel. Bang told himself, in order that ho might get her at a bargain. Yes, that was undoubtedly the reason, he decided, nnd Toy, poor, misguided little fool, had not wit enough to see it But lie was prepared to nip such an unheard-of flirtation in the bud in an effectual way. And his teeth mot with a vicious click as he started off down the alley on a noiseless little trot When the bomb-easting began Kee took a reluctant leave of Toy, and was soon lost in the crowd, but Bang fol lowed him closely. The bomb Is pro jected high in tiie air, while the men struggle to catch it as it comes down. The squabbling nnd yelling aud actual fighting over it show how firmly their faith is pinned to this su perstition, aud the victor is borne away with shouts and cheers, while the less fortunate ones slip away with black eyes, bleeding noses and sometimes serious breakages. Chew Bang bided his time until Kee entered tlio lists, then took his place near him. lie held his right arm very, straight, and guarded it fforn being jostled by tlio scurrying crowd. As the bomb rose in the air and all eyes were riveted tipon it, Bang edged up to Kee, and when the great scuipe | began hissed into iiis car, with nil ugly yellow smile: "I have a score to settle with you. I'll teach you not to Insult my daughter." Tlio bomb had turned, and was coming down. If Kee got out of range lie knew he would lose liis chance at it. "Get away!" he snapped at Bang. But the adored Toy's father pulled him by the sleeve toward the edge of the mob. "If you touch me again I'll kick you out," muttered Kco, in desperation. But old Bang, with the agility of a cat, had caught the knife from ills sleeve, and Kee felt his cold, sharp rejoinder penetrating between his ribs as he sank' to the ground. By the time the tomb had descended and had been caught, however, Chew Bang was standing on the other side of the crowd, an interested spectator. Meanwhile the beautiful Toy wnp still smiling to herself and craning her neck to follow a certain tall contestant. When the report of the stabbing was passed through the crowd, she lnstant ly got out of her carriage, and hobbled and hobbled along the sidewalk until she reached the spot where poor Kee lay prostrate on the ground. Her coun trymen were too much excited to do anything but jabber and jostle one another, and because Toy was a wom an, they fell back, conscious of their In adequacy to the occasion, and glad to shift the responsibility to more capable shoulders. Tenderly she raised his head so he might breathe. This re stored his consciousness sufficiently for him to speak, but when Toy bent low to catch his last word, she heard, not a loving farewell, hut her father's name. "Chew Bang did It," ho faltered, "he cause " Toy understood only too well, and waved the bystanders back Into a wider circle so there might be no possi bility of Ills words being overheard. "Who did it?" several asked, seeing Kee could still speak; "ask him before It Is too late!" Toy turned toward the crowd surging closer about her, and read their purpose In their faces. Then she glanced at the man on'the ground, whose eyes still looked into hers with the meaning that had first stirred the revolt in her heart against the colorless life enforced upon her by Oriental custom and her father's severity. Rut mingled with that other look was an appeal to her for ven geance, for to die with his blood una venged is, to a Confucian, worse than for a Christian to die uushrlven. And again she heard the name of her father repeated in a whisper as Ills murderer. The nearest bystanders began to call to Ivee himself for the name of his as sassin. Toy raised her head to answer them, but suddenly she found that, ru der tlds test, she was not merely Toy, the emancipated, but the product of countless ancestor-worshiping genera tions, to whom duty to a parent is a fundamental tenet. "The American doctor is coming," she presently hoard one of licr country men say, and Instantly the thought flashed through her mind: Could lie, by care and skill, take out the knife and stanch the blood so Kee might live? If this were possible, then was her emancipation sure, for Baug would bo in their power, and all opposition ended. Yes, ended, because her fath er's old age would go down in disgrace, possibly imprisonment. Here, how ever, the dominating forces of centuries again surged in upon her, and her new ly acquired spirit of independence was not strong enough to stem the on slaught. Again Toy bent low over the victim of her father's wrath and licr own rashness. Even the fast-falling stupor could not dim the agony of appeal in his eyes. This time she did not see it. In another instant the surgeon would be here and have her secret. Throwing herself upon Kee, as if in a paroxysm of grief, she drew out the incriminating knll'e so that blood gushed from the wound, making further speech impossible, and deftly concealed it in the flowing sleeves of her blouse. As Ivee fell back lifeless, Toy strug gled to her little crippled feet. "He's already dead," said the physi cian when ho reached Ivee's side. "Who stabbed him?" "He no sabec," Toy faltered, and meekly allowed herself to lie led away to tiro balcony behind the iron grating. —San Francisco Argonaut. Whale-Shooting In tho Arctic; In Harper's James B. Connolly, who has Just returned from a trip to the far north for Harper's Magazine, tells of the modern method of shooting whales with a harpoon gun, Mr. Connolly made a trip on the whaler Skytteu: "Only eighty feet over all, with less than two feet of freeboard at her waist the Slcytten seemed a puny craft for the rather large business of whale-ltlll ing," pays Mr. Connolly. "It was her equipment, of course, that made her strength. Forward, on a platform set directly In her bow, she mounted a heavy built muzzle loading harpoon gun, and on her forward deck she car ried a lot of appurtenant machinery— winches, hoists and one thing or other, which wero to warp in tho whales by and by. "The skipper hesitates, and we try to remember tho tales they tell of his skill. " 'Wee-hay!* he roars, this man who has killed his thousands—'Wee-hay!' he bellows, under the strain of It, and he has been hunting whales for thirty-five years. Wee-hay! and boom!—they come together—the flame and the cloud of smoke. The harpoon we are not quick enough to see, but tho line that follows it we do see. From our bow to the back of that great creature It leaps—a long leap—a hundred feet—and where the lino stops we know tho harpoon is burled.

Darwin and Modern Criticism By Prof. Benjamin Kldd. -a,.™—tii the growth of that sense of responsibility towards life, which M Darwin thought he saw interfering with the operation of the law Hf of natural selection by filling the asylums with the maimed and KsVy less capable, we have not Indeed the suspension of natural setec v v tion in society, but the first basis of a social process, the iuten- sity and efficiency of which have, under the influence of natural selection when viewed from a wider standpoint, begun to tell \ to an Increasing degree in competition with all other types of society whatever. The projection of the sense of human respon sibility outside the limits of all tho creeds and interests which, iti previous stages, had embodied it in the state, has resulted in the gradual dissolution of tile closed absolutisms in the state within which human activities lind previously been confined. The dissolution of the conception upon which slavery rested; the growth of the conception of the native equality of men, and of their right to equal voting power in the state, irrespective of status or possessions; tho undermining of the absolute position of the occupying classes, and of the ideas by which civil and religious opinion was previously supported by the power of the state; the tolerance of parties; the right of free Inquiry in every direction; the long movement towards political enfranchisement; with finally the growth of that conviction which constitutes a standing challenge to nil existing absolute tendencies in the economic conditions of the modern world, namely, that the distribution of wealth in a well-ordered state should aim at realizing political justice—are all features of an integrating process in Western history. They are all tho marks of a type of society of higher organic poten tiality than has existed in the world before—a type of which the characteristic feature Is that the sense of human responsibility has been at last projected outside the state and beyond the present.—Harper's. TEe Noblest Business ©f AIL Verdict of a Farmer From Choice. By Enoch C. Dow, Belfast, Me. @NLY a short time since I received a call from a man who lias a responsible position with one of the largest contracting and building firms in this country. During the conversation 1 made the remark tiiat ho had a good trade, and was doing well at it, to which he replied that if he was to start over again he would go to farming. * Now, here was a man in the prime of life, earning more than SIOOO a year, who believes farming holds out belter in ducements to the young man that Is offered by the mechanical trades. This is not the visionary idea of the city worker who has no practical knowledge of farm life, and who imagines farming is all pleasure and profit. No, it was the mature judgment of a well educated and experienced mechanic, who has the management of a department and the supervision of forty men working under him. As a boy he grew up on a farm; as a yonng man he worked nt farming for several years; ns a man In the prime and vigor of life, with mature judgment, and earning a salary that the average farmer boy would look upon as fabulous, he says there aro more and better opportunities on the farm than in the trades. Hero is something for the farmers' boys to think about and well consider, True, tile farm knowledge needed by the successful farmer to-day is greater than tn the past, yet it Is of such a nature that it may be largely gained while conducting the usual farm operations. It requires no more time to learn to be a good farmer than to learn a good trade. Tho good farmer can get more opt of life than tho good mechanic; the poor farmer has a better show for a living than tho poor mechanic. Then, there are tho enjoyments of country living to offset the Inconveniences of the usual city life. Yes, the city has its advantages; so also has the country. On the whole, the advantages are with the country. The writer of this is a farmer from choice," and not from necessity. With some experience in other walks of life, and a good education, u good look was taken, and the decision was made that farming was a better and bigger busi ness than any of the trades or so-called learned professions. I have not seen cause to change that opinion, but it grows stronger as the seasons come and go. Always there Is something to learn on the farm. The mechanic may be come a machine; the preacher grows small nud narrow in his theology; the lawyer gets sharp, but limited; the doctor sickens of his pills and patients and sighs for a broader life. The farmer only, of all men, has a business that always broadens and develops If followed intelligently.—New York Tribune. jg? <gr Curing Crippled Children. By Dr. Adolf Lorcnz, of the University of Vienna. jpjjEErajnjjjpa 808 ABLY tlie only new tiling which I have to teach surgeons is that many malformations and dislocations can be cured by I aaaa> I the use of the human hands and by manipulation of the mnl- VLummJ? fl formed or dislocated part without any cutting. It is no reflcc £ ff gji tion upon the excellent surgeons of America tliat I havo fl ft n something new to show them, because the results of my I B cal '' iest bloodless operations performed with the hands were (Lull mm iu tlu) nature of discoveries, and as new to me as to others. America teaches the rest of the world many things and, there fore, can sometimes learn with a good grace. I have been performing these operations for nbout fifteen years, and havo In that time treated about 1090 cases by the new method. These eases have included club feet, double or single displacement of the hip, wry ueek and other malformations. Previous to ISSO I used the knife in treating the hip dislocations and, in consequence, almost invariably got a resulting stiff hip iu tho patient. By the present method I get forty per cent, of cures that seem to bo absolutely per fect, so that a child that has two dislocated lilps and Is almost unable to drag Itself about can in a little while run and jump as well as any other. In an other thirty per cent, the cure is not perfect, for a slight limp Is left, and in the remaining thirty per cent, there is at least no injury to the patleut. I have learned by my 'experience that It Is better to set an age limit for these operations, and, I do not now generally undertake to treat children over six years of age where both hips are out of joint, or over nine years of age where one is displaced. I used to treat older children, but gave it up as the results were not good, owing to the strength of the muscles that bound the Umb Into the wrong position. At first 1 used a sort of screw to pull limbs into their places, but It was too rough and I gave that up aud now use the bauds alone, though iu difficult cases the limbs nre prepared for the operation by means of weights that pull them, some of them being as heavy ns eighty pounds. Though the treatment of the child's malformed or mlsjointed limb may appear to the layman to be very severe, and though a great deal of force Is certainly applied In tearing tho muscles that bind the bones In the false posi tion, yet when tlie child awakes from the ether it feels no pnin. Recovery from the immediate effects of the operation is very rapid aud the child should be moving about in two or three days, using the limb that has been treated. I want the child to use the limb as soon as possible, for in most cases the head of the femur and tlie socket In which it works do not work harmoniously, be cause during all the patient's life they have grown apart. Use will remove this difficulty. After the operation to reduce congenital dislocation of tho hip the patient Is kept in tho plaster cast about nine months, though encouraged at the same time to move about, using the limb that lias been treated and especially bear ing weight on it. Some little patients with these casts upon them are very lively. I remember a boy from Berlin, who was in a east tlint held his legs out in spread eagle style, the knees and toes pointing in opposite directions. He used to gallop sidewise about the streets. By the time the cast Is taken off the muscles have lcnlt the limb into its new position and If it has been well used all joint difficulties have vanished and the cure is as complete ns though the child had had two good limbs from the beginning. Sometimes there is no socket, or one of its walls Is too low to properly retain the head of the femur when it is put In place. This can often he remedied by boring with the femur itself at the time of the operation. The plaster cast theu holds tlie lione in place till the muscles bind It there. America lias some of the cleverest surgeons of tlie world nnd the whole body of tliom hero are notably quick nt learning. I am greatly pleased with the hospitals, the apparatus is so good, the specialization so thorough, and there has been such liberal provision for'particular wants. This country Is far ahead of Germany In such matters. The American dentist has demon strated that he is tlie best in tho world in his calling, and the American sur geon will go to the front also—it is Inevitable.

Reports of the scarcity of quail in Northern Ohio are so general that there is no room for doubt that adverse weather conditions last winter cut down the stock of the most popular American game bird far below the normal average. "Bob White" seems in danger of extermination in some localities where there are usually quail in plenty. But it is only an apparent danger. With ordinary seasons and a little bet ter protection than is commonly given by farmers nnd game wardens the quail will rapidly make good their losses and be as plentiful as ever. The bird is hardy, brave and adapted to civilization. Unlike the grouse or partridge, often called the pheasant, quail prefer open lields and flourish much better where the laud is quite generally tilled than they do in wild and forest-coi cred regions. It Is not doubtful that the numbers of quail in the United States very much exceed the highest average in good seasons when white men first landed on American soil. The bird lias gone West with the plow and become com mon where it was unknown in the days 1 when the Indians held the land. Its # range is iar greater than it was two or three centuries ago, and it is more com mon where it was found at that time. So quail will never die out if given a decent chance by the laws and by public sentiment. The lack of a fair opportunity to flourish ir. the United States would ... a disgrace to the coun try. Not only is "Bolt White" a fine game bird, but his cheery call is a pleasure to lovers of nature, and lie has a lirnve American spirit which ought to make him the National fa vorite, which lie is.—Cleveland Leader.
